Overheating- changed thermostat - Thanks Brickboard 850 1995

I was overheating after about 20 minutes of driving. My thoughts were to change the t-stat but I couldn't easily fine a 7" extension T40 Torx to get to the bolts. After searching the archives, I see that many were able to do it with a T40 screwdriver bit, 1/4" socket using a 1/4" socket drive extension and some tape for the bit. This worked great. I ended up ordering a T-stat from FCP-Groton, although it was a scan-tech brand, hopefully it will last 50K or more.
Everything went great and the car's running normal again.
Thanks again Brickboard members!
